"Of particular value to the pharmacist audience is Chapter 6, which the authors devote to the financial aspects of inventory management. Useful discussions in this chapter include inventory valuation methods...benchmarking inventory turnover rates and reorder points...the text is logically sequenced and well structured, making it easy to read and follow. The use of tables and figures is appropriate and not overdone. The use of case studies breaks up the chapters and maintains the reader's attention, bringing them back to a scenario they are familiar with to highlight the pharmacy relevance...a useful introductory resource for pharmacists wishing to embark on a career of management".
